Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe plans to retire from the bureau early next year, according to a new report.

McCabe is retiring amid heavy scrutiny from congressional Republicans over his roles in the Russia investigation and the Clinton email probe. Top Republican lawmakers like Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley have recently called for McCabe’s ouster.

McCabe, 49, met for hours earlier this week with members of three Congressional committees to discuss his work on the Trump and Clinton investigations.

He was interviewed on Tuesday by the House Intelligence Committee, which focused on his involvement in handling the infamous Trump dossier. Fox News reported that McCabe offered few details about the dossier or the Russia investigation, which was opened at the end of July 2016.

Fox News reported that McCabe was unable to say what parts of the salacious dossier have been verified by the FBI.

On Thursday, McCabe met jointly with members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform Committees. The Russia investigation was ...

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley will hold a reception for the ambassadors of countries who did not support a U.N. General Assembly vote condemning the U.S. for its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The invitation to the Jan. 3 reception, a copy of which was obtained by Breitbart News, was sent to the 65 countries who either rejected, abstained from, or declined to vote on the resolution that censured the U.S. for President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

“The Honorable Nikki R. Haley … invites you to a reception to thank you for your friendship to the United States,” the invite for the Jan. 3 reception says.

The nonbinding resolution, which passed 128-9, expressed “deep regret” at the call made by President Trump, and calls on “all States to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem.” 35 countries abstained and 21 countries did not turn up to vote.

The resolution was sponsored by Turkey and Yemen and came days after the U.S. vetoed a similar resolution at the Security Council. Haley took to the General Assembly floor to blast the U.N. over the vote and to warn countries that the vote “will be remembered.”

“We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world’s largest contribution to the United Nations and we will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit,” she warned.

President Trump on Wednesday warned that the U.S intended to pull money from “nations that take our money and vote against us.”

“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars then vote against us, well we’re watching those votes,” he said. “Let them vote against us; we’ll save a lot. We don’t care.”

The reception will likely be seen as symbolic of the Trump administration’s intent to...

By the summer of 2015, the Obama administration was in a panic. Obama’s foreign policy was marked by abject failure. The Russian re-set went disastrously wrong and the same could be said for the Arab re-set.

America’s lead from behind attitude in Libya and its support for anti-Qaddafi insurgents produced a base of operations for al-Qaida. In Syria, an American leadership vacuum allowed the Russians to slip right in and assume a dominant regional role. In Iraq, the early departure of American forces resulted in half the country being overrun by the Islamic State while the other half was subsumed by the Islamic Republic.

Obama’s support for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood front man, Mohammed Morsi, and his vacillation in supplying attack helicopters to the successive government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi allowed the Russian to once again move in and usurp America’s traditional role.

The administration seemed incapable of dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. Indeed, Obama and the oleaginous sycophants that worked for him could not even bring themselves to utter that phrase. ISIS was on the march, democracy was on the run in Venezuela, and North Korea continued to detain Americans and test-fire ballistic missiles.

Obama’s efforts to strong-arm Israel into accepting a deleterious peace agreement with the gangsters from Ramallah had backfired miserably. Finally, Obama’s pet project of emptying Guantanamo of its dangerous Islamist detainees ran into a brick wall.

It seemed as if nothing could go right for the president. Everything he touched became tainted. Every Obama initiative (when there was initiative) produced negative results that were harmful to U.S. interests.

Obama was desperate. After a string of public failures and humiliations, he badly needed something in the win column. And so with a cloud of failure swirling around him, he committed an act so egregiously destructive, so outrageously deceptive, it rivaled Neville Chamberlain’s calamitous Munich Agreement. On July 14, 2015, the Obama administration bound the United States to an agreement with the world’s premier state-sponsor of international terrorism and drug trafficking.

In its zeal to clinch a deal with the Islamic Republic, the Obama administration embarked on a...

THE life sentence of the jailbreaking murder of the teenager from Pori remains in force. The Supreme Court announced on Thursday that it would not grant an appeal to the sentenced person.

Vaasa Court of Appeal in August convicted Ramin Azimi for murder to life imprisonment. A 17-year-old jogging girl from Pori died in January 2015 as a victim of a homicide.

Azimi was also sentenced for gross rape.

THE INCIDENT was about the girl’s desire to end her relationship with the man. According to the Court of Appeals, the former boyfriend Azimi had repeatedly tried to get the girl to continue the relationship.

According to the statement, Ramin Azimi first raped the girl in the nightclub at Ulvila. The man then transported the still alive girl to Kokemäki by car, moved her to a wooden storehouse, poured gasoline on her and...

On Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host addressed the left's repeated refrain that illegal aliens are actually a boon to America: hard-working, conscientious, and even more law-abiding than the average American citizen. "Not only are immigrants more virtuous than you are," Carlson says the left claims, "but they are safer to be around. In other words, stop complaining. They are your superiors."

But is this argument true? "Are people who are in this country precisely because they were willing to break our immigration laws really less likely to break other kinds of laws? It doesn't make a lot of sense." Reliable statistics don't seem to exist, he adds.

Until today. "We now for the first time have the actual numbers," Carlson says, referring to new statistics from the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

"Non-citizens are actually far more likely to commit serious crimes than Americans are," the stats reveal. Immigrants commit 22 percent or more than a fifth of all federal murder convictions, for example.

Carlson goes on to relate more eye-opening statistics which demonstrate that immigrants commit a "massively disproportionate amount of crime. Not even close. No, immigrants are not more law-abiding and less dangerous than Americans... Non-citizens are more likely to...

It was revealed this past week that the Obama administration allowed the Hezbollah drug operation in the U.S. to continue at the same time the nuclear deal was being made because the President didn’t want anything to interfere with the nuclear deal, bad as it is. We learned Wednesday that the Fusion-tied and demoted Bruce Ohr was tied to that operation. Also connected is Imran Awan, the suspected spy now jailed only for fraud.

Fox Business News host Lou Dobbs revealed Wednesday that Bruce Ohr led the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces while the Obama administration protected Hezbollah drug dealers in the U.S. as part of his effort to mollify Iran. The reason for that is believed to have been to protect the Iran deal. Also tied to Hezbollah at the same time — Imran Awan.

Bruce Ohr is the man who visited Fusion GPS and met with Glenn Simpson during the 2016 election campaign and after the election. His wife, Nellie Ohr was hired during the campaign to work with Fusion GPS on the Trump “investigation” and she is a Russia expert.

A group of House Republicans has been secretly investigating the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI for weeks, according to Politico.

Politico on Wednesday reported that the coalition is attempting to build a case that senior DOJ and FBI leaders improperly – and maybe criminally – mishandled a controversial dossier.

Four people familiar with the collective’s plans told Politico that the dossier is the one described alleged ties between President Trump and Russia.

A subset of the House Intelligence Committee’s GOP members is quietly working on the matter parallel to the panel’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race.

Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) is leading the subset, which has not informed Democrats about its plans but has consulted with the House’s general counsel.

Politico’s sources said the goal is to illuminate what some panel Republicans view as conspiracy and corruption in the top ranks of federal law enforcement.

The group hopes to release a report in early 2018 explaining their concerns about the DOJ and FBI, and they might also seek congressional votes to declassify elements of their evidence.

Republicans in the effort suspect that the FBI and DOJ have worked to hurt Trump or help Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee he defeated in last year’s White House race. The separate inquiry was born out of steadily rising frustration with the DOJ’s refusal to share details of how the Trump dossier was used to start the FBI’s probe of his election bid last year. The examination is also interested in whether the dossier was the basis of any court-ordered surveillance of Trump’s associates.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered prosecutors at the Department of Justice to begin interviewing FBI agents about evidence they uncovered in a criminal investigation into a highly-controversial uranium deal that involves Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Multiple law enforcement officials confirmed Sessions’ orders to prosecutors, NBC News reported exclusively in the early morning hours on Thursday.

At the heart of the issue is the 2010 Uranium One deal which Hillary Clinton signed off on while she was Secretary of State at the U.S. State Department.

NBC News adds:

A senior law enforcement official who was briefed on the initial FBI investigation told NBC News there were allegations of corruption surrounding the process under which the U.S. government approved the sale. But no charges were filed.

While Clinton has vehemently denied that she did anything wrong, a fresh round of reports in recent months from The Hill and Circa News suggests that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

An October report revealed that the FBI started gathering evidence in 2009 of Russian officials engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering that were involved in the Uranium One deal:

Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as...

Fusion GPS, the producer of the infamous Trump dossier, is fending off in court three of Russia’s richest oligarchs by painting them as corrupt bankers in bed with President Vladimir Putin.

The three primary investors in Moscow’s Alfa Bank — Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven and German Khan — filed a libel lawsuit against Fusion in October. Fusion’s dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele, says two of them engineered cash bribes to Mr. Putin. The dossier also implies that the bank colluded with Mr. Putin to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election by hacking Democratic Party computers.

The lawsuit describes the three billionaires as international businessmen who became “collateral damage” in Fusion’s war to destroy the Donald Trump campaign.

“This is a defamation case brought by three international businessmen who were defamed in widely disseminated political research reports commissioned by political opponents of candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election cycle,” says a Dec. 12 filing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

“The reports are gravely damaging in that, directly or by implication, they falsely accuse the plaintiffs — and Alfa, a consortium in which the plaintiffs are investors — of criminal conduct and alleged cooperation with ‘Kremlin’ to influence the 2016 presidential ....

What was the holiday season is now the season of terror. Thank you, Angela Merkel.

All the while, it is our mores and grand traditions under attack (violently and culturally) from these savage invaders. Beloved traditions such as Christmas markets, July 14 fireworks at Versailles, music festivals in Sweden and music festivals in Germany are now canceled. This one in Bad Doberan wasn’t canceled, but it was disrupted by pro-jihad “Palestinian” savages waving “Palestinian” flags and blaring Arabic music. Germans better get used to this kind of disruption, because it is their future. The Germans in Bad Doberan should be grateful that all they got in their Christmas market was loud Arabic music, not a homicide bomber.

Yesterday evening, a new video was posted on the Facebook page of the local branch of Germany’s populist AfD party. On the page they say the video shows a Christmas Market in the German town of Bad Doberan (Weihnachtsmarkt in Bad Doberan).

While a man films secretly from his car, loud Arabic music is being heard and a group of people are waiving Palestinian flags. It clearly looks like a pro-Palestinian protest or a provocative way to make a statement. A reply on the post shows probably the same group walking with the same flags through the German town.

Before the question, how about a few statistics? The 20th century was mankind’s most brutal century. Roughly 16 million people lost their lives during World War I; about 60 million died during World War II. Wars during the 20th century cost an estimated 71 million to 116 million lives.

The number of war dead pales in comparison with the number of people who lost their lives at the hands of their own governments. The late professor Rudolph J. Rummel of the University of Hawaii documented this tragedy in his book “Death by Government: Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1900.” Some of the statistics found in the book have been updated.

The People’s Republic of China tops the list, with 76 million lives lost at the hands of the government from 1949 to 1987. The Soviet Union follows, with 62 million lives lost from 1917 to 1987. Adolf Hitler’s Nazi German government killed 21 million people between 1933 and 1945. Then there are lesser murdering regimes, such as Nationalist China, Japan, Turkey, Vietnam, and Mexico.

According to Rummel’s research, the 20th century saw 262 million people’s lives lost at the hands of their own governments.

Hitler’s atrocities are widely recognized, publicized, and condemned. World War II’s conquering nations’ condemnation included denazification and bringing Holocaust perpetrators to trial and punishing them through lengthy sentences and execution. Similar measures were taken to punish Japan’s murderers.

But what about the greatest murderers in mankind’s history—the Soviet Union’s Josef Stalin and China’s Mao Zedong? Some leftists saw these communists as heroes.

W.E.B. Du Bois, writing in the National Guardian in 1953, said, “Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. … The highest proof of his greatness [was that] he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate.” Walter Duranty called Stalin “the greatest living statesman” and “a quiet, unobtrusive man.”

There was even leftist admiration for Hitler and fellow fascist Benito Mussolini.

When Hitler came to power in January 1933, George Bernard Shaw described him as “a very remarkable man, a very able man.” President Franklin Roosevelt called the fascist Mussolini “admirable,” and said he was “deeply impressed by what he [had] accomplished.”

In 1972, John Kenneth Galbraith visited Communist China and praised Mao and the Chinese economic system. Michel Oksenberg, President Jimmy Carter’s China expert, complained, “America [is] doomed to decay until radical, even revolutionary, change fundamentally alters the institutions and values.” He urged us to “borrow ideas and solutions” from China.

Harvard University professor John K. Fairbank believed that America could learn much from the Cultural Revolution, saying, “Americans may find in China’s collective life today an ingredient of personal moral concern for one’s neighbor that has a lesson for us all.” By the way, an estimated 2 million people died during China’s Cultural Revolution.

More recent praise for murdering tyrants came from Anita Dunn, President Barack Obama’s acting communications director in ...
